Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are called complete proteins. These foods include beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, quinoa and buckwheat. Foods that contain some but not all the essential amino acids are called incomplete proteins. These foods include nuts, seeds, beans and some grains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal products like beef, fish, dairy, and eggs contain enough of every one of these essential amino acids. Thus, they’re considered complete proteins ( 2 ).

Detailed explanation-4: -For good health, we must get the other nine amino acids (called “essential amino acids") from the foods we eat. When a food contains all nine of these amino acids, it is called a “complete protein."

Detailed explanation-5: -A complete protein or whole protein is a food source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of each of the nine essential amino acids necessary in the human diet.
